Episode notes

i did my master's at the same school that i'm a rigt now, memorial university of newfoundland and labrador. And for my ph d, i was like, what were other countries doing in north america at the time? Cause i'd only really looked at british sights at that point. But then also i was really interested in sort of looking at ways that these burial faces that were established through colonialism, how you could see bodiesi represented in them.

Bidding farewell to the sweetest and spookiest month, we traipse past graves with archeologist, conservator and Taphologist Robyn Lacy. What’s the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery? Is it wrong to picnic in one? And can tombstone scrubbing help the world and soothe your living soul? Plus, font trends on headstones, old-timey gravestone emojis, a coffin-within-a-coffin, the best epitaphs and knowing the difference between slate, marble, and granite monuments. To celebrate Halloween, stop by the cemetery gates to do zinckies with your best ghosties. (That will make sense later.)
